Exploring reaction mechanism for ammonia/methane combustion via reactive molecular dynamics simulations

Jing Wang et al.

Summary: Ammonia has gained attention as a carbon-free fuel, but further research is needed to understand its combustion mechanisms under different conditions. In this study, reactive molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to study ammonia/methane combustion at high temperature and pressure. The results showed that high temperature accelerated ammonia consumption and affected the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx), while high pressure also accelerated ammonia consumption and influenced NOx formation. By tracing the trajectories of reacting atoms, the reaction pathways for ammonia/methane combustion under high pressure were generated. Comparing with existing combustion mechanisms, new intermediates and elementary reactions were identified. The study also calculated the activation energies for several important elementary reactions, which were consistent with previous combustion kinetics studies. The study demonstrated the feasibility of generating reaction networks and revealed in-depth reaction mechanisms under extreme conditions using reactive molecular dynamics.

A reactive molecular dynamics study of NO removal by nitrogen-containing species in coal pyrolysis gas

Zhongze Bai et al.

Summary: Coal splitting and staging is a promising technology for reducing NOx emissions from coal combustion. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the reaction mechanisms of NO removal by nitrogen-containing species (HCN and NH 3 ) in coal pyrolysis gas. The effects of temperature on NO consumption and N 2 formation were analyzed, and control strategies for the pyrolysis and reburn processes were proposed. This research provides new insights into the mechanisms of NO reduction and can help optimize the operating parameters to decrease NOx emissions.

A reactive molecular dynamics study of the effects of an electric field on n-dodecane combustion

Efstratios M. Kritikos et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of externally applied electrostatic fields on the chemical kinetics of n-dodecane combustion at high temperatures through reactive Molecular Dynamics simulations. The results show that strong external electric fields are required to induce changes to the chemical kinetics, and the consumption rates of n-dodecane and oxygen exhibit different trends under various electrostatic field strengths. The kinetics of oxygen molecules play a primary role in determining the reaction behavior under external electrostatic fields.
